Electric Sheep Renders

The Electric Sheep project is one of the coolest collection of artwork that I know of. Users can install the screensaver, which displays a downloaded sequence of animated fractals while rendering frames to be uploaded to the server and added to the project. Users can also give designs a "thumbs-up" or "thumbs-down", influencing which fractals get chosen to be "bred" together, creating a new generation of art.

By navigating their website for the most visually appealing frames and using the flam3-render tool, I was able to fully realize the potential of some fractals with HD renders and carefully selected parameters.
